Freundlich laß uns scheiden
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Moravian (Moravština) 
Freundlich laß uns scheiden,
wie wir uns gefunden.
Könnten wir vergessen,
mein Geliebter, jene Stunden?
Oft will dein ich denken.
Öfter als einmal nur in dem ganzen Jahr.
Ja, Dein gedenk ich, Liebste,
herzlich bei jedem Schritt fürwahr.
Dein will ich gedenken, du geliebtes Mädchen,
ach bei jedem Schritte.
